Synthetic fruity-fresh
Abel was founded in Amsterdam in 2013 by former winemaker and New Zealander Frances Shoemack because - as we all know - she couldn't find a fragrance she liked. She now lives back home. All of the brand's fragrances are unisex.
The "musk" note listed in other databases is actually wrong and in reality it is
Ambrette seed / ambrettolide which smells different from musk, Parfumo maps it correctly.
A very beautiful, intense, fruity, juicy aquat. You smell freshly showered, fruity and clean.
This fragrance is simple and yet unique at the same time. Clean yes, clean laundry yes, but true lovers of clean fragrances will always smell a difference between Byredo Blanche, Clean Reserve Warm Cotton, Valjues 12, Not a parfume by JHAG, Bottega Venetta Salvia blu, You by Glossier, D&G Light blue, Fleur de peau by Diptique, Nothing but sea and sky, Sun bleached, Molecule fragrances, Marc Jacobs Cotton, Zarko Parfume the Muse, Genetic bliss, Lefko by Korres, Club Noe, Le Musc e La Peau, Santal Super, Floating, Ambr Super etc.
The opening is juicy, fruity in an elegant, timeless way. Dry down is timeless, pleasant, relaxed, minimally soapy.
Quite a few people are hyposomic (smell-blind) with regard to various musks, which can also extend to ambrette seeds, I love musk and always detect it, no matter how hidden. What causes hyposomy? It's a similar recessive gene that makes coriander taste like soap to some.
The scientific reason that musk is often not smelled is that it is at the upper limit of molecule size that humans can smell.
I can fortunately smell all three notes and love this fragrance.
After 3 hours you can smell salty, fresh musk like "your skin, but better".
A rare guest in the fragrance world - seaweed - is abundant here and lends a maritime note: nori - a seaweed harvested off the coast of France.
Incidentally, Abel is the gold winner of the Clean + Conscious Award for natural perfumes. A fruity and juicy fragrance paired with ambrette seeds that opens with mandarin and peach and ends in a salty, deep sea scent.
The silage is mild and the longevity is unfortunately short, which prevents me from buying more than 15 ml. Instead, I will buy Extrait next time as the longevity is miles better.
